Students complete nine fill-in-the-blank problems with division and subtraction in multi-step expressions. The matching activity pairs four expressions — including 10 − 6 ÷ 2 and (10 − 6) ÷ 2 — with their values.
Evaluating subtraction and division in multi-step expressions — where left-to-right order conflicts with PEMDAS — reinforces that division has priority over subtraction regardless of position in the expression.

Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 24 ÷ 6 + 3 × 2 = 10.
2. 15 - 3 × 4 + 1 = 4.
3. (20 - 5) ÷ 3 = 5.
4. 36 ÷ (3 + 6) × 2 = 8.
5. 14 - 8 ÷ 2 + 3 = 13.
6. (7 + 5) × 3 - 16 = 20.
7. 30 ÷ 5 - 2 + 8 = 12.
8. 4 × 6 ÷ 3 + 5 = 13.
9. (18 - 6) ÷ (2 + 1) = 4.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
10 - 6 ÷ 2
→ 7
12
(10 - 6) ÷ 2
→ 2
20
3 × 8 - 4
→ 20
7
3 × (8 - 4)
→ 12
